Welcome
Hi, welcome to the American Dad! Wiki, a database of facts presented in the television show American Dad!. Please take a moment and review The American Dad! Wiki Editing Guide which contains most of the important ground rules for edits.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Buckimion (talk) 20:50, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Buckimion, I did not remove content from Roger's page, I rewrote some of it to make it more comprehensible. I feel that you were unnecessarily harsh when you blocked me and it leads me to believe that you did not even read my edit before reverting it. Siberian99 (talk) 19:23, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

The bot is slow in updating info today, but read the editing guide attached above...we encourage new information and not permit the "rewriting" of articles except for misspellings due to people that make a habit of nitpicking or shuffling sentences rather than knowing the material. --Buckimion (talk) 23:00, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

The article has various instances of poor writing and spelling mistakes. Is fixing them not something that this Wikia should strive towards? Reverting a well-intentioned edit and blocking me is not a great method of encouraging newcomers to continue editing. Siberian99 (talk) 15:40, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

I just reviewed the page and with one small exception, do not see spelling mistakes. What I saw mostly was someone nitpicking over the wording with their own opinion of how things should be. --Buckimion (talk) 15:52, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Not sure why you are so hostile.

"It was revealed in "Weiner of Our Discontent" that he believes he came to earth to be "The Decider", seeing of the planet was worth saving or to destroy it."

"when various members of the Smith family usually find themselves."

"Mostly Roger just deals with the boredom of keeping cooped up in the attic all day by dressing up in various costumes and creating pretend jobs for him to go to."

"Despite his faults, Roger genuinely cared about the Smith family" - Should be "cares".

"although "Stanny Tendergrass" shows that even among the family there are disguises that fool the Smiths" - Oddly written.

" especially  Ethan, who later turn psychotic and tries to kill the professor and  Hayley ."

"   with no yard, He also sells X but doesn't use it."

" Another Star Wars alien bounty hunter who Roger considers dresses up as during his Fashion Montage to go after Jeff." - Oddly written.

"Painter  - " Meter Made " - Roger paints a picture of Hayley nude, which she is horrified to discover despite saying that she has nothing to be afraid of as a nude subject of a painting. Upon discovering both Steve and Hayley want to buy the painting, Roger holds an auction in which Klaus, Steve, and Hayley bid on the painting, named by Roger "Headless Naked Whore", lot 247. It is bought by Francine for $5,000 and shown in the Parade of Homes. As well as the painting of nude Hayley, Roger also painted a sad clown. In the Parade, Roger says that his influences as a painter are Rembrant, Tino Sehgal, and huffing a garbage bag of gasoline" - Oddly written.

There are probably more. The article could definitely be written better. Siberian99 (talk) 16:16, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I can go along with some of the notes above, although you would have been much better off by focusing on those rather than attempting a major overhaul. --Buckimion (talk) 16:49, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

I didn't see it as a major overhaul. My main intention was to just fix up the weaker written parts so they read better while conveying the same information, more or less.

Thanks for unblocking me. Siberian99 (talk) 17:30, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

In the editing guide above it spells out that we do not permit galleries due to FOX copyright. --Buckimion (talk) 16:45, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. I would suggest changing "dodo-Glitter clone" to "dodo-Glitter hybrid", though. Siberian99 (talk) 17:09, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I decided to salvage the picture and incorporated it into an episode note which uses the term "hybrid." I'll look at the other phrasing. --Buckimion (talk) 17:08, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
